The fight is scheduled for May 3, location yet to be determined. Floyd ducked my boy Amir Khan because he was scared of his hand speed.

Maidana is a tough mother fricker. But Floyd's speed is too much for him.

you think Floyd is scared of a guy who struggled and was nearly finished by Julio fricking Diaz in his ONLY fight at 147? Khan's handspeed isn't even a weapon because his overall skillset and ability to take a punch suck on every level. One solid shot to the grill and Khan folds. That guy is absolute trash and didn't deserve a PPV fight.

Floyd wins every second of every round. Styles make fights. Alexander already proved Maidana can't handle slickness.

Ducking Amir Khan? With his glass jaw?

Khan is in no way worthy of a fight with Mayweather.

I enjoy talking boxing with you sometime but are you serious with this or joking?

Maidana is a much better fight overall as he will push the fight and make may weather fight to win

Amir khan is an underachiever in every sense of the word. He has never stepped up to any of the major competition he has faced and has no chin.

Maidana is tough as nails and if nothing else, will force may weather to be at his best to win.


All that said, mayweather
unanimous decision 12round

If Khan has no chin how did he beat Maidana?

Did you watch that fight? Maidana was rocking him constantly late in the fight. Khan spent the entire 10th and 12th rounds wobbling all around the ring trying to make it to the bell. Khan was KTFO by Breidis Prescott of all people, Danny Garcia and then Julio Diaz nearly finished him last April.

He won that fight because he kept Maidana away in the early rounds + the point deduction. Khan has gotten worse as he's moved up in weight.

Amir Khan's great chin Part 1

Amir Khan's great chin Part 2

Amir Khan's great chin Part 3

Neither Khan nor Maidana would threaten Mayweather, so it really doesn't matter which one he chose. Maidana's style is made for Floyd and, as mentioned earlier in this thread, Maidana won't win a second of the fight unless Floyd chooses to take rounds off by laying on the ropes.

Khan is the superior offensive fighter between he and Maidana. He has a lot better hand speed and technique, but he is a head case with the chin of a 4 year old. Whereas Maidana won't win a second, Kahn might win all of a minute combined, haha.

There really isn't anyone for Floyd to fight at 147 or smaller. All interesting fights for him would be against 160 lbs fighters who dropped the weight to fight at 154,but Floyd no likey that idea.

mayweather doesn't even knock anyone out, the one where the dude went for a makeup hug doesn't count.

just another slow opponent for him mess around with and to outbox to a 12 round decision.

nah seriously i don't even know who marcos maidana is

hope it's a good fight

He's a good fighter. Very tough and lots of power....but very slow and technically flawed.

Watch Devon Alexander vs Marcos Maidana....that will give you a good indication of how this fight's going down on May 3.

Floyd's been ducking (insert flash in the pan guy who'll be gone 2 years from now). Eventually fights them, kicks their arse.

Rinse and repeat...

That fight was entertaining, but khan was rocked multiple times and barely made it out alive.

He had maidana off his game early, and it's the only thing that saved his arse. Khan ALWAYS starts fast and fades as the fight goes.

Maidana should lose every round but for some reason I think he will catch Floyd napping early on the ropes and wake him up.

Floyd is going to payback Maidana for beating Broner.
